kushner71! I would do what WVC said as well. There are a lot of different factors that can influence the integration process. Baptism by fire only works if you have lots of space for the little ones to get away from the older hens. Don't forget the quarantine area/ period if you don't know the flock from which they came, if you are concerned about that.
Good morning all! I'm such a late comer to the conversation. But, I've enjoyed my first cup while reading through the morning posts, so that's nice! The kids are off to school and I'm knitting. (And drinking more coffee.)
